Is a pretty frustrating, albeit entertaining thing. Last week I saw a car in Taos, New Mexico with several bumper stickers. On one side was a sticker which read something like, "The last time we mixed religion and government [or politics], people got burned at the stake." The other side of the car had a sticker that said something about how wonderful the first amendment is (sorry but I have already forgotten the exact phrase).
Isn't that a great illustration of the duplicitous nature of the typical liberal in the US today? They love their freedoms and rights. They love to express them. They just can't stand it for anyone who disagrees with them to express themselves. Free speech is great until a Christian speaks up. Tolerance is the highly cherished virtue, but there is no tolerance for Christianity.
This all becomes so incredibly ironic when we consider the flaw of the first bumper sticker. The last time we mixed religion and government was not the Salem witch trials. Probably the most important time we mixed religion and government we got one of the greatest documents in the history of civilization, i.e., the United States constitution. Our founders took many biblical principles, applied them to government, and codified them in the constitution.
So, yes, the rights, like freedom of speech, freedom to not worship, etc. that liberals cherish so much are a result of government being informed by religion--or actually by the Bible. Don't you love it?
James 4:8 says, "Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded."

Liberals....
It has always bothered me that the seperation of church and state was meant to protect the church, and now it is used against it.
Our country would be in much better shape if we could mix a little religion with politics... and I have exercised my freedom of speech for the day... wish Jeremiah was finished expressing his... I think he is just getting started! ;)
